[RE-wrenches] Charger recommendations

[Kienan Maxfield]

I’m only familiar with two reputable brands that have this…

Victron has a 25A and a 50A. I’ve used the 50A and I’m super happy with it.

Iota has a 13 amp. It’s a lot less efficient than the Victron. The Victron is also more repairable if it ever has a problem down the line.

EG4 does have a 100A 48V charger that’s cheap if you want to take the risk.

I have found that when you are looking for high amperage 48 V charging, you can get an inverter/charger that gives you more charging amps for the same price. For example, I have an installer who used the Victron 15 kW inverter and it gave him 200A of charge current for a lot less cost vs installing 200A of battery chargers. You could use a 10 kW to get 140A of charge, or an 8 kW to get 110A.

I enjoy helping spec out this kind of stuff, let me know if you have any questions or if you’d like any help.

Thanks,
Kienan

 Hi All,

I am looking for recommendations for a standalone 48v high amp charger (min. 100a). I have a client with a large battery bank that needs a minimum 85a charge but his all-in-one inverter/charger won’t deliver more than 40. Finding high amp 48v chargers has proven to be a challenge. Victron has one but not sure if there’s anything else out there.
